A WOMAN has revealed how she transformed her patio from green and grimy to sparkling clean with ‘minimal effort’.
With the August bank holiday almost upon us, many of us will be planning on making the most of the day off by hosting BBQs or garden parties.
With this in mind, Britons will be making sure that their patios look as squeaky clean as possible, so as to impress their guests.
Patio’s can be tricky to clean, but one gardening fan has revealed the simple method she used to get hers looking brand new, without having to scrub.
Posting in the Gardening UK – Hints, tips and advice Facebook group, the woman said: “For anyone wanting to clean up their patio area with minimal effort l thought I would share this product.
“Spray and Leave worked over a few days and nibbles away at the Green algae and dirt as you watch with a cuppa.
“Be patient and watch the magic.
“A little goes a long way.”
Attached to the post, were pictures of the before and after of the woman’s patio, to show its dramatic transformation from green to pristine.
Spear and Jackson 5L Spray and Leave Ready can be purchased from Amazon for £14.99.
It is ideal for use on paths, patios, driveways, steps, headstones and garden ornaments.
It cleans mould, algae and dirt away from the affected areas and destroys the spores produced by algae.
A product description reads: “The formula is designed to work with the outdoor elements, including wind and rain, to gradually wash away the contamination over a number of months – and can continue working for up to a year, depending on the extent of contamination.”
Gardening fans raced to the comments section of the woman’s post to share their thoughts, with many also praising the product.
One person said: “I used this last year, it worked a treat and was much better than some other brands.
“No need for jet washing which can cause damage to the patio and paving.”
Another person said: “I bought this product after somebody recommended it and I’m pleased with the result.”
A third person said: “It’s great, I also use Wet and Forget which does the same.”
A fourth person added: “Looks fab.”
